In the following blog post we will introduce three different Big Data algorithms. More specifically, we will
learn about probabilistic data structures that allow us to estimate cardinalities and frequencies of
elements that originate from a massive stream of data. This blog post is heavily inspired by a the well written article on probabilistic data structures for web analytics and data mining. I will not cover the mathematics behind those data structures, the beforementioned blog post does that much better. And if not, then you should probably consult the original ...
